Residents of Gimli, Manitoba can expect a mix of spring temperatures and unsettled conditions as a weather system moves through the region. According to Environment Canada, Thursday will see a high of 23°C, significantly higher than the typical late-April average of 12°C. The day features mainly cloudy skies with a 30 percent chance of rain showers in the afternoon.

The forecast includes winds coming from the north at 30 km/h. Residents are advised that the ultraviolet index is currently at 5, which is considered moderate.

While southern regions like Gimli are experiencing cool, spring-like weather, much of northern Manitoba is currently under the influence of a late-season winter storm that is expected to bring significant snowfall. In the Gimli area, however, no official weather alerts are currently in effect.

Conditions are expected to remain cool heading into the weekend. Forecasts indicate a high of 9°C for Friday, 8°C for Saturday, and 10°C for Sunday. The cooler trend continues into early next week, with rain expected on Monday and a potential for flurries by Tuesday. April is historically the windiest month in this area, which contributes to the shifting weather patterns residents often see this time of year.
